Still busy harvesting. Lots of Redsleeve apples. Made dried apple rings with the holey ones. Sour cherries today and raspberries are still coming, although slowing down a little. Total produce has topped last two years already now!

It must be nice to see the harvest increasing year on year. My harvest has slowed a bit and I am now preparing beds for the Autumn, especially wild flower beds.

It's about now that I can see what crops I got wrong and make plans for getting things right next year as far as vegetables go. Root veg is what I got wrong, not enough of them and what I did have a mole dug up!

Hi Andy,
thanks for your commnet. I've been away for a couple of trips and just got back. Most of the soft fruit has stopped now but other things are taking over. Will write a post with details :).. Sorry to hear a mole got some of your veg. So far haven't had to worry about them. Codling moth is my main pest at the moment.
Simon
